Simulation of collective effects between the qubits of a quantum computer
March 10, 2023
An international team, involving researchers from IFISC (UIB-CSIC) in collaboration with the University of Helsinki, Aalto University and the startup Algorithmiq (Finland), has successfully simulated the collective and dissipative dynamics of two qubits in a real quantum computer. These results …
Analysing how the introduction of renewables affects the electricity grid on islands
Feb. 24, 2023
A study carried out by IFISC researchers proposes a model that emulates the behaviour of the electricity grid with high renewable production.The researchers used the increase in wind power generation on Gran Canaria as a case study. A new study …
Formation of biological patterns by pulsed signals
Feb. 6, 2023
Alan Turing first described how regular patterns found in living things, such as the stripes of zebras, appear.A collaborative study between IFISC and Princeton University proposes an alternative mechanism to explain this pattern formation. Understanding how regular shapes (patterns) are …
11F: International Day of Women and Girls in Science 2023
Feb. 3, 2023
In 2015, the United Nations General Assembly decided to proclaim 11 February as the International Day of Women and Girls in Science with the aim of achieving full and equal access to science for girls and women. This year IFISC …
Modeling the spread of Pierce's disease of grapevines
Jan. 30, 2023
Wine production is being decimated in some places by Pierce's disease, caused by the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa. Researchers propose a model that takes into account the effect of ambient temperature to see how climate change will affect its spread. A …
Traveling patterns in seagrass meadows
Jan. 9, 2023
In seagrass meadows there are patterns associated with high mortality of plants capable of moving while maintaining their shape.Researchers propose a model that reproduces these traveling patterns and at the same time is a diagnostic tool for the health status …
Researcher’s Night 2022: La Resistència Científica
Sept. 16, 2022
La Resistencia Científica is a late night science show that will bring together the centres of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) in the Balearic archipelago to talk about the science being done in these islands with a touch of …
Modelling the deadly noble pen shell (Pinna nobilis) epidemic
Sept. 13, 2022
A model designed by researchers from IFISC (UIB-CSIC), in collaboration with IMEDEA (UIB-CSIC), LIMIA (IRFAP) and INAGEA, develops an epidemiological model to comprehend marine epizooticsIn a new article written by IFISC and the University of Buenos Aires, the researchers analyse …
Identifying the acidification trend of the Balearic Sea using artificial intelligence
Sept. 5, 2022
This study highlights the use of machine learning to characterize the pH decline in the Balearic Sea, a key task in assessing the impacts of climate change on marine biodiversity. The results show a trend of pH decline similar to …
